Tao went bounding around in the woods, chasing after any small creatures she were to come across.

Jessica smiled back at Echo as she opened the door. "Hey there!" She gave Echo a pleasant greeting. "So, you ready to get moving now?" She asked the girl. She took her camera out of her pocket and looked over the picture of Sable's map she took, double-checking the route she intended to take after setting out from Lakewest.
As the gunners in the group opened fire, the figure hit the ground and rolled before coming up, the white blade a blur. Bullets pinged and whined away as they struck the blade, the attacker parrying them with astounding speed and dexterity. As the figure stood its ground deflecting blows with whirling strikes, the it became clear that it was not some dark, winged beast but a human in a long black robe with a cowl that obscured their face.The robe was tattered and oily and stinking, and appeared to have been woven out of moss, untanned animal hides and then smeared in years worth of forest detritus and mud. Cynane fired another big arrow at the figure but it stopped in mid flight as the figure gestured at it with its free hand, the nails grown into filthy ragged claws. With a flick of its wrist it cast the arrow back at Lyra.
Lyra fired once, sending a bolt of plasma into the attacker. The drones adjusted aim, and fired low level shots, aiming to ignite the robe. Lyra took the tossed bolt in the shoulder, snarling and hitting the ground, reaching to remove the arrow.
"Hey there. Ready..." Echo said. She sounded enthusiastic at first, then she trailed off at the end. She gestured down at her skirt, wondering if Jess would get what she was worried about.
Savranth drew his sword, but made no other motion, waiting to see what the unseen attacker would do.

If Rita looked up, she would see what appeared to be a giant tree, but, at the same time, not, standing there watching her, AND watching her fire. It made not a move, but kept an eye on her.

Now, rustling could be heard in the forest all around Loki. And with it came the sound of almost childlike laughter, but distorted. Inhuman

Suddenly Saya threw her spear and it landed close to Tao, she walked over to it and picked up the now dead rabbit, that was hanging lifelessly to the end of the spear. "Woo Woo WOO!" Saya called out in a small celebration, she then tied the rabbits paws to each other and flung it over her shoulder. "Let's go...cat human..." She said to Tao as she started to walk out of the woods.
Tao cheered herself and followed after Saya. "That was a good throw Strange person, meow." she said as she followed behind Saya.
Rita took her heated tools out of the fire and started attempting to make very minute bits out of the jewel space of the amulet. She wasn't looking directly at the creature, but she could see it. She kept an eye on it as she worked, slightly shocked that it hadn't attacked, given the nature of monsters in her world.
"Hmm?" Jessica hummed as she was initially confused by Echo's response. Noticing the girl gesture to her skirt, Jessica looked down at her own attire and seemed a little embarrassed. "Oh, uh, right...uh...we should probably get some better clothes to travel in while we're still here in town." She suggested. She gestured for Echo to follow her, then walked down into the lobby of the Inn and started to look around for one of the proprietors she had seen the previous night.
The attacker vaulted sideways with the agility of an Olympic gymnast, cleanly evading the plasma bolt that Lyra fired. The drones however, blasted the ground beneath his feet. The swordsman cried out, his voice surprisingly high and clear. He stumbled and fell, losing his grip on the sword. Immediately he rolled and regained his feet, but as he did so his cowl fell back. It revealed the face of a man, but it was impossible to determine his age or much other information as his face was caked with grime, his hair matted and similarly filthy.
As he stood and drew a knife from his robe, this roughly hewn from some greenish, chitinous substance, his robe hung loose. Beneath it was a tunic that was in similarly poor state to the robe. It had several plates crudely sewn onto it, most of the same material as the dagger. Two plates were white and artificial like they had been taken from some pre-existing set of body armour, and one looking like it had been slashed at a high intensity cutting torch. The body beneath the tunic was emaciated, the frame of a man who was not used to eating well or often. The dagger and his free hand held in a defensive position, the man opened his jaws wide, bared his teeth and let loose a feral snarl at the group, but he snapped his gaze from one opponent to another feverishly, and his eyes which were like pieces of quartz in the dirty face, betrayed only fear.

"I shan't indulge your desire to play this childish game, who or whatever you are." Loki remarked, still not bothering to look around for whatever it was that was watching him. With his super-human senses, the laughter had already given away the position. "Come out if you have business with me, or find my pressence disturbing. For hiding in the shadows shall be of no avail to you." Loki added, then pointed to the direction the laugher was coming from with the scepter. "I know precicely where it is you hide."
Saya made a quick/small campfire and started to skin the rabbit, using a small sharp piece of flint. She hummed to herself as she prepared it to be cooked
"Hello Jessica. I trust that you had a peaceful respite? When shall we be continuing our journey?" Sable says upon seeing Jessica step into the lobby
Tao tried to eat the rabbit as Say prepared it, lightly pawing at her hands as she worked.
"Probably get some better cloths." Echo said as she followed Jess.

Saya slapped away Tao's paw. "Not ready yet...cat human..." Saya said to Tao, she put the rabbit meat into a bowl and dangled it above the fire to cook it, she made makeshift plates out of leaves. Saya picked up the fur and examined it for a bit, she put it into her bag for later.
